Hey, I've been wondering something: is it possible to change the actual volume setting for the player's computer?

What, no ideas?

With the basics commands, you can't ( see the doc ). Use "ChannelVolume" ;)

Crap... I was wondering if executing "soundvol.exe" with a command line would do the trick... Ah well.

You can use an API to change the volume. In winmm.dll, there is a command called WaveOutSetVolume that changes the wave volume. The first parameter should be 0, the second one should be in the range 0..65536. I found the winmm.decls here: www.blitzforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3915 When I tried, the (windows) mixer window didn't show the changes, but the volume did change.
